But, wait, he worked there for 18 years...half of 18 is 9. 9-6=3


Half-Life 3 still confirmed!!!
User avatar #47 to #2 - captchakid ONLINE (3 hours ago) [-]
Half of 18 is 9, and the square root of 9 is 3. Could have had it so much cooler.
User avatar #6 to #2 - lean (11 hours ago) [-]
18/ 3 = 6. HL3 confirmed for release in 6 years
#19 to #6 - quenz ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
Hmm... 2022, that doesn't seem right. I think 2023 would make more sense. Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Mark your calendars, folks!
#22 to #19 - anon (9 hours ago) [-]
(2+2+2+0)/6 = 1
2022+1 = 2023
HL3 CONFIRMED 2023

>writes game
>knows it won't live up to the hype
>leaves the company before they start coding it so fans won't blow up on him

And honestly, I wouldn't blame him.

It's always been dead, guys.

they were never going to make it because it would never live up to the hype.
#24 to #13 - anon (8 hours ago) [-]
Well maybe if they haven't focused on those ****** episodes and went on to create HL3 a little sooner then maybe the hype wouldn't have built up this much.

But hey, if I had the choice between making money and making money while making games, I would probably do the opposite of what valve does.
#31 to #13 - anon (5 hours ago) [-]
People who hype things are retarded.
#18 to #13 - quenz ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
Isn't that what they said about the new Star Wars movie?
#52 to #18 - anon (2 hours ago) [-]
and they were right
User avatar #55 to #52 - captinchikin (2 hours ago) [-]
Nothing can physically live up to the amount of hype that movie generated, it reached ******* critical mass. That doesn't change the fact that it's a great addition to the saga, trust me, I loved it, but it would have been smarter for Disney to bring it down a couple notches with the advertising and such.
#59 to #55 - anon (2 hours ago) [-]
Yeah It's pretty on par with the prequels. Agreed on Disney toning down the aggressive advertising too.
User avatar #61 to #59 - captinchikin (2 hours ago) [-]
I'd argue that it's past the quality of the prequels, especially in terms of acting and dialogue writing
#76 to #61 - anon (37 minutes ago) [-]
Acting was probably my favorite part about 7, but some of the dialogue was kind of... silly. Being "tempted by the light"? That isn't even slightly lore-friendly nor true to life.
User avatar #20 to #18 - borderlineparanoid ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
the hype began when the film was confirmed, when we knew about it being a real thing is when people started to say that. with Half Life, they never said they were going to do another, people just expected them to and that slowly built false hope and hype to the point it has become mythical.

Valve knows that the pressure to release something amazing is too high and too much of a risk to take.
#23 to #20 - quenz ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
Valve has officially confirmed a new Half-Life game multiple times since the end of Episode Two. That's probably where most of the hype has come from. I think it's a risk Valve is willing to take, and I'm confident that they'll make Half-Life 3 great.
User avatar #29 to #23 - qnamanmanga (6 hours ago) [-]
As best product of valve each part of half-life must be epic as **** . If they would want release it today in form from 2009 it would be another shooter. In 2004 It was epic, because it was first production with shadows/physic in realtime/reflections. It has best graphic. And -thanks advanced physics engine. New level of realism. Next part will be released , when VR technology will be a standard in each house. Or, when they will be able to make photo-realistic graphic.
#25 to #20 - skebaba (8 hours ago) [-]
Obviously it's implied that they would, since the H-L 2 E2 ends with a cliffhanger. That implies a third episode.
#66 to #13 - anon (1 hour ago) [-]
That's the whole point of Hype.
NOTHING CAN LIVE UP TO HYPE.
#1 - evilhomer (12 hours ago) [-]
There's still a possibility of them releasing it since they have the license, but without the original writer it will not be the same
#14 to #1 - anon (10 hours ago) [-]
oh god let it go, it's just a ******* game.
#21 to #14 - anon (9 hours ago) [-]
You're the type of cunt who will use that justification to be a dick to people whilst playing games.
#16 to #14 - quenz ONLINE (9 hours ago) [-]
Star Wars VII is to movies as Half-Life 3 is to video games.
User avatar #72 to #1 - falxcariusbro (53 minutes ago) [-]
Considering how long it's been, the story was probably already written out.
#26 to #1 - thepizzadevourer (7 hours ago) [-]
Well, couldn't the writer have already written the story, and now they're just waiting to develop the game? My personal theory is that Gabe wants to wait until VR/Oculus becomes widespread enough to release HL3 as a VR game.
User avatar #62 to #26 - nicktrue (2 hours ago) [-]
Please be right
#8 to #1 - quenz ONLINE (11 hours ago) [-]
Come on, they've been working on HL3 for ages, is it so unrealistic to consider that his work there is done?
#34 - anon (5 hours ago) [-]
what's 1/2 life plus another 1/2 life. 1 life. now go get 1
#41 to #34 - anon (4 hours ago) [-]
Actually, , since half-life is a term marked to radioactive decays. 2 half-lives would indicate that you only have 1/4 life left.
#42 - agronimo (3 hours ago) [-]
As someone who has never played the Half-Life games, I just hope this to make the "Half-Life 3 confirmed" meymey finally die off
User avatar #75 to #42 - scooba ONLINE (39 minutes ago) [-]
Gabe hates that meme more than anyone.
User avatar #68 - nocakeforthetroll (1 hour ago) [-]
Half Life 1 was one of the first games to do animations with skeletons and half life 2 had a revolutionary physics system. Half Life 3 will only get released once valve can do something as revolutionary as the other two games were, we will probably see something when vr gets released and is common place.
User avatar #57 - digitalpariah (2 hours ago) [-]
I watched Banjo-Kazooie die
I watched Halo and Gears of War die
But I never dared considered this. R.I.P. Half Life
#33 - hellomynameisbill (5 hours ago) [-]
Unless it's already been written
User avatar #51 to #33 - suursaadik (2 hours ago) [-]
It is already written, just at the moment there is only a skeleton crew working on the game, consisting only of few people. Got the info from the funhouse guys video, on "The Know". cant remember which one tho
User avatar #35 to #33 - fatminion (5 hours ago) [-]
maybe Half-Life 3 is actually a simulation in which we are currently in
User avatar #39 to #35 - almaster (4 hours ago) [-]
then this is the worst game I've ever played
User avatar #40 to #39 - fatminion (4 hours ago) [-]
well, to be fair, it is only half a life... the other half is probably DLC
#32 - foodyquest (5 hours ago) [-]
You were still holding out hope that is was going to come out? Let alone come out and live up to the hype?
User avatar #71 to #32 - captainprincess ONLINE (1 hour ago) [-]
everyone knew it was never going to live up

but I guess DNF and more recently star wars has made people think that something could come
#70 - captainprincess ONLINE (1 hour ago) [-]
Deep down
we all knew it was dead already

we hoped
we joked
we kept our spirits up in a foolhardy dream that it would come around again

But we always knew
#56 - basstard (2 hours ago) [-]
I knew it wasn't going to happen, i just kind of hoped it would someday and then this.
User avatar #4 - senseiweasel (11 hours ago) [-]
Well, he's the main story writer, and I'm guessing here, but I'm fairly sure that they write the story BEFORE they code the game (easier that way). So it could be that his part in the creation of HL3 is finished, and they no longer need him because the story is already done, and now the game just needs to be coded.

ABOUT ******* TIME!!! NOBODY GAVE A ****
User avatar #58 - yoo (2 hours ago) [-]
steve jobs "left" and there are still new iphones
monty oum "left and there is stil rwby
just because mark laidlaw left doesnt mean there wont be another half life.
i we just believe, then it wil come true.
#79 to #58 - drumandbass ONLINE (31 minutes ago) [-]
Steve once stated that they will never make a phablet

The new iPhones suck. Hard in comparison to other phones for a quarter of the price (e.g. One Plus One; Xiaomi Mi 5,...)
RWBY isn't the same and comes close to sucks - only watching it now to honor oumy

Long story short, they could make it but it'll suck most likely.
#50 - anon (2 hours ago) [-]
If you seriously think that there is not already a majority of the writing already done for the game (which the company would have rights to, not the individual employee) then you are just dumb enough to think this matters.

Nobody codes **** until there is an actual game planned.
